Training and learning methods for engineering students, in the disciplines of product design manufacturing, are becoming more difficult complex since they have to integrate theoretical technical knowledge, skills computer-aided applications (CAx) collaborative work practices. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools support structured practices CAx supports content creation. Both types software key Industry 4.0 development. They also evolve over time, incorporate new functionalities, change...

The assembly of components in the aerospace industry is currently supported through procedures based on generation work instructions. This documentation describes both sequence operations to be performed by operators, and fundamental critical parameters operation (drawings components, torques applied, sealing system characteristics or paste, etc.). Currently, workers use this information ensure that tasks are correctly. However, sometimes difficult manage, either difficulty interpreting...

With a specific focus on the aerospace sector, this paper is starting point in definition of framework, based commercial software system, to facilitate biunivocal relation between physical individual aircraft, identified by means 'manufacturing serial number' (MSN), and its equivalent digital counterpart. It reviews different topics involved creation an aircraft counterpart, i.e., complexity, identification, lifecycle, information configuration, main applications involved. Then, it shows...

This document introduces the main concepts of Collaborative Engineering as a new methodology, procedures and tools to design develop an aircraft, Airbus Military is implementing. designs industrializes aircrafts under Concurrent techniques since decades with success. The introduction PLM methodologies, tools, mainly in industrialization areas, need reduce time-to-market conducted push engineering teams do things different way. Traditional works sequentially, basically overlaps tasks between...

The assembly of components in the aerospace industry is currently supported by procedures based on work instructions. This documentation describes both sequence operations to be performed operators and fundamental parameters operation. However, sometimes difficulties arise, either difficulty interpreting information or because process too complex. communication shows results Project MOON (asseMbly Oriented authOring augmeNted reality) developed AIRBUS Military. uses 3D from industrial...

Assembly Line Balancing (ALB) comprises ordering of tasks among workstations to satisfy precedence constraints and objective functions. Due the specific features an aircraft, such approach is not fully suitable for case aircraft Final (FAL). Where, number relates technological criteria rather than a calculation aiming minimize parameter. Workload smoothing addressed once FAL configuration defined. To improve current practices, methodological was taken address conceptual modeling assembly line.

Collaborative Engineering aims to integrate both functional and industrial design. This goal requires integrating the design processes, teams using a single common software platform hold all stakeholders contributions. As result of virtual manufacturing project for A400M Final Assembly Line (FAL), Airbus Military coined concept Digital Mock Up (iDMU) as necessary unique deploy Concurrent Engineering. Along 2013 has developed another research project, named CALIPSOneo, implement an iDMU...

The design of an aircraft Final Assembly Line (FAL) is part the product industrialisation process. FAL conceptual phase characterised by being time-consuming and depending heavily on personnel knowledge experience. need to develop methods tools enhance assembly lines acknowledged academia industry. This work proposes a knowledge-based prototype application assist guide designers in definition evaluation alternatives. A digital industrial mock-up (iDMU) comprises three structures: product,...

Currently many multinational companies have manufacturing plants with similar processes, but they suffer from barriers to share knowledge. Knowledge Management (KM) techniques may help capture and reuse knowledge generated during processes execution. Literature shows Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) as a technique for implementing KM, Product Lifecycle Systems (PLM) the main data repository of Product-Processes-Resources data. This paper proposes Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) approach...

The design processes of an aircraft are highly complex and involve a large number multidisciplinary teams. current organizational, methodological technological model, based on concurrent engineering working methods, creates gap between functional industrial engineering. Such is both at the information management level communication level, inefficiencies in processes. Airbus Military launched CALIPSOneo project to investigate how improve industrialization facilitate collaborative environment...
